Bernstein said there is no more noble act than teaching. That's why I share my lessons learned and experience gained.   Having been a Music Director and Principal Guest Conductor around the world, I am also  aware of the demands and challenges of a conducting profession beyond the music, whether it be management, tax assistance, legal help, travel planning and residency.  


Conductors can benefit from my teaching by applying for the annual Bucharest Conducting Academy International Masterclass and Competition.  Please see the Competition page or click on the action button link.
